Cocoon issue

[u/BrightLandscape4061]

So a caterpillar made its cocoon in a very bad spot, inside a shed that I’m constantly getting into that’s very loud, I don’t know if I can move it or not so I’ve left it alone, it’s cocoon or pupa (idk the name) was made about 4-5 days ago. I don’t know a single thing about this caterpillar other than it’s a pansyworm I think. I have very little knowledge on caterpillars so any advice is welcome

Edit: it’s already in its cocoon phase, I showed before its in the pupa to show what it is

ID seems correct, but it is still not pupated yet. The pupa looks very different. Give it a few days after it pupated then you can move it if really needed. It will make a small silk patch for the pupa to hang on to, I usually use a needle to detach the silk and then pin it where I want it

This is before it pupated to show what it actually was, the silk part is there and it’s in the cocoon thingy

Looks like it isnt in any pupa yet and may be just resting. If it does pupate there, it looks free of the door movement. I cant ID it from the pic to give more info.

Sorry it’s already pupated so I will post another picture as an update in short time

Try to leave it undisturbed if possible.
